Rong Jiaojiao steadied herself, adjusted her flying sword, and then flew north.
She flew on her sword; although the speed wasn't fast, she could still feel the wind whistling past her ears.
Zi Ling nestled in her arms, looking around curiously and occasionally squeaking.
Zi Ling asked, puzzled, "Master, why won't you let me fly with you?"
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and patted its head: "I always feel like I'm bullying you when I sit on your back."
Zi Ling shook her head: "No, Master, how about I take you with me later?"
"Okay, I'll get tired and you can take over later."
Rong Jiaojiao readily agreed, and Zi Ling's little eyes shone with excitement; she couldn't wait to show off her abilities.
The flying sword streaked across the night sky.
Two hours later, Zi Ling leaped out of the flying sword, her figure changing rapidly. Her originally petite body instantly expanded, transforming into a sable with wings three zhang long.
It was surrounded by a pale purple halo, and its fur shimmered like silk in the moonlight, hovering majestically in the air.
"Master, come up quickly!" Zi Ling called out excitedly to Rong Jiaojiao, her voice filled with undisguised pride.
Rong Jiaojiao looked at the majestic Zi Ling in front of her, her eyes filled with admiration: "So beautiful!"
Zi Ling, pleased with the praise, shook her head smugly.
Rong Jiaojiao made a hand seal to retrieve her flying sword, then leaped and landed steadily on Zi Ling's broad back.
Feeling its master's weight, Zi Ling straightened its body, then spread its wings and shot out like an arrow.
The speed was several times faster than flying on a sword. The wind whistled past my ears, turning into a sharp whistling sound. Fortunately, I could still set up a barrier.
Rong Jiaojiao felt the scenery rushing past her, the earth and mountains shrinking beneath her feet, and the exhilarating feeling of soaring through the sky made her burst into laughter.
As Zi Ling flew, she said proudly, "Master, I can be even faster!"
As soon as it finished speaking, the purple light around it suddenly surged, and its speed increased again.
Rong Jiaojiao felt her breath catch in her throat, and everything around her blurred into a blurry image, even the starlight was stretched into long bands of light.
Rong Jiaojiao and Ziling, who had originally calculated that it would take at least four or five hours to get home, arrived at the intersection of the 56th Division's garrison a little over an hour later, even though they were unfamiliar with the route.
Judging by the time, it should only be around ten o'clock now. Rong Jiaojiao scratched her head and said, "Ziling, shouldn't we come back when it's light?"
Zi Ling said, "Master, why don't we find a place to rest for the night and go back tomorrow morning?"
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "It's not good to think too much when you're at home. Turn back into a kitten and let's go home."
Zi Ling immediately transformed into a kitten, and Rong Jiaojiao then headed towards the gate of the camp.
The soldiers on guard duty tonight were strangers to Rong Jiaojiao. As Rong Jiaojiao registered, they stared at her intently, questioning, "Why are you home so late? Who brought you back?"
Rong Jiaojiao...
Why are they interrogating me now?
“An elderly man who was passing by saw me to the door, but he had to leave on his own.”
The soldier was unsure what to do, mainly because he wasn't sure if she was Commander Rong's daughter.
Once people have doubts, they will have many concerns. They dare not let Rong Jiaojiao in, but they also dare not leave Rong Jiaojiao and another soldier alone here.
Helpless, they could only report it, and soon two soldiers came out to take Rong Jiaojiao home.
Knowing that they were just doing their job, Rong Jiaojiao wasn't angry and started walking home.
When I arrived at Rongjiao's door, I knocked twice and someone answered from inside.
When Rong Lianhu opened the door and saw Rong Jiaojiao standing in front of the two soldiers, he was very surprised and exclaimed, "Jiaojiao? It's you! Why are you back so late?"
Rong Jiaojiao pointed to the two soldiers and said, "Dad, these two brothers brought me back. Please confirm my identity with them."
Rong Lianhu hurriedly said to the two soldiers, "Thank you for your hard work. This is indeed my daughter. It's so late at night, and I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip."
After confirming their identities, the two soldiers saluted and said, "It's no trouble at all, Commander Rong, we'll be leaving now."
"good!"
After they left, Rong Lianhu closed the door, turned around, and his smile was instantly replaced by worry. He looked Rong Jiaojiao up and down and asked anxiously, "Jiaojiao, why are you back so late? And all alone?"
Rong Jiaojiao took her father's arm and whispered, "Dad, I want to tell you that the danger from the demon spirits has been temporarily relieved. My master and I are preparing to go on a journey, so we came home to see you first."
"Leaving again?"
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Dad, we'll have plenty of time from now on. We can come back whenever we want."
"real?"
"certainly!"
"Lian Hu, who's here?"
Seeing that Rong Lianhu had not returned for a long time, Fu Ya asked from the inner room.
Rong Jiaojiao replied, "Mom, it's me who came back. I didn't time it right and disturbed you."
"Jiaojiao?"
"Mom, it's me!"
The sound of dressing came from the inner room. A moment later, Fu Ya got up and asked, "Why are you back at this time? Who brought you back?"
Rong Lianhu lit the stove, and Rong Jiaojiao briefly explained the situation.
When Rong Lianhu heard that she had returned on a sword, he was quite envious.
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Dad, when you and Mom take a day off, I'll take you flying."
"Will this work?" Rong Lianhu asked, intrigued.
Rong Jiaojiao nodded and looked at her mother. Not to mention Rong Lianhu, Fu Ya also wanted to try. She said, "The day after tomorrow is Sunday, and I don't have to work."
After saying that, he looked at Rong Lianhu and said, "I don't have anything to do lately, so I'll ask for leave when the time comes."
With the matter settled, Rong Jiaojiao urged, "I'll stay home with you until Master arrives, so you should go to sleep now."
The couple thought about having to go to work the next day, so they stopped talking. Fu Ya got up and said, "Your room is all cleaned up. You should go and get some rest too."
"Okay, you can all go to sleep now."
Fu Ya nodded, and before leaving, she gently patted Zi Ling's head, who was quietly nestled in her daughter's arms.
For the next few days, Rong Jiaojiao stayed at home until the couple had a holiday and Rong Jiaojiao was preparing to take them out for fun. Only then did the neighbors realize that Rong's daughter had returned.
After leaving the camp, Rong Jiaojiao asked Fu Ya, "Mom, have you decided where to go today?"
Fu Ya really wanted to visit her second son, but she knew that would cause trouble, so she rejected the idea.
She said, "Your dad and I have discussed it and we'd like to visit the place where you lived with your master when you were little. What do you think?"
"Sure, I know how to get here."
As Rong Jiaojiao spoke, she made a hand seal, and a flash of green light appeared. The Lingyuan Sword transformed into a large flying sword and hovered in front of the three of them.
She carefully helped her parents step onto the flying sword, and then set up a sturdy protective barrier around them to ensure that nothing went wrong.
